I have two degrees, one in Business Administration and the other in Elementary Education. In my first degree, I survived the math classes by memorizing formulas. I learned more about everyday math in my education methods classes. I learned there to see the math in everyday objects and experiences.
My favorite math related quilting project was to plan seven scrappy quilts for my nieces in controlled color palettes. I don't stash much fabric, but I do like to use lots of different fabrics in my quilts. I'm also frugal, so I try to map out how I can use each piece of fabric several quilts with little waste.
My quilting time was greatly reduced when I returned to work and also needed to sew some clothing, but I still have my cutting diagrams and occasionally take a few hours to cut some new fabric and file it away in my project boxes.
